I can’t find a corresponding model or year for a Theo-a-Kochs quite like this one. Do you have any info about this chair? Thank you. Jeryl Spear, editor HOT Beauty Magazine

Lather-up an inflated baloon. Begin shaving off the lather. Ultimately, we will do it without nicking (popping) the baloon.

No it’s not. The two are completely unrelated. A facial at a spa involves, among other processes, exfoliation – something most men do far too little of. This sort of shave be pleasant, effective, exhilarating, even soothing, however the analogy is faulty. A facial is a facial, hair removal is hair removal.

Aidan Gill was AMAZING and took over an hour. I was surprised they used a Mach 3 instead of a straight razor but they claimed that nothing beats it. I then had a straight razor shave in Denver and it was excruciating. My neck was shredded and it took me several days to heal. I shave at home with a safety razor and prefer it over any other method. I might have just had a bad shave but I’m scared to try a straight razor shave again.

It’ll be worth the 45 minute drive just to visit Clay’s. Probably driven by there a hundred times. Glad you posted this and loved the photos of the experience.

From one service member to another, will you please pass my thanks to Mark for his service next time you see him. If im passing through, I may have to stop in his shop for a shave. Rangers lead the way.

Fri, 07 Dec 2012 13:16:03 +0000http://artofmanliness.com/?p=23485#comment-292489I use an electric shaver now only because I get really bad ingrowns if I don’t. I have tried the Mach 3’s and every other expensive multi-blade razor on the market but to no avail. I want a closer shave than what the electric can offer so I was wondering if a straight razor will be better for me or not….
